new fall name

I was thinking, and possibly the most common fall in trials riding (aside from just not making it or falling off in the middle of somehing easy) would be when you gap or roll-up hop onto something, and you come up short with the uni, and not with the body. If some of you d'ont know what i'm talking about, this is demonstrated several times at the end of "Universe".

So, like i say, if any of you still follow, i think we should make up a short name for this, kind of like UPD but different.

just a thought,

-Ryan

I tend to find it's a "knee grab"... the wheel hits the corner, but doesn't quite make it... it shoots off backwards, leaving you sat on an unsupported seat, while still zooming forwards. Down you go, thump! Landing on your knees.

Phil, just me

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
